Linkin Park, Radiohead, Madonna, Jewel and Green Day are protesting music listeners policy of single-song listening.
Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer for Green Day was quoted as saying: "We made all of those songs on our album and arrainged them in an order. You should listen to them from the first track to the last, that's how we intended them to be listened to. Listening to just one track in the middle is classified a derivative work and we will sue you fools! Now pass the bong Tre."
I read the "escalating and turboing" website linked to by your post. Being someone who works in this industry I must agree with the methods outlined in how to talk to a bigwig however descriptions of Level 1/2/3 CSRs and how to handle them is completely wrong. Interesting reading nonetheless.
Funny, yes. But how exactly does that demonstrate wit?
Easily:
wit1 ( P ) Pronunciation Key (wt) n.
1. The natural ability to perceive and understand; intelligence.
2.
1. Keenness and quickness of perception or discernment; ingenuity. Often used in the plural: living by one's wits.
2. wits Sound mental faculties; sanity: scared out of my wits.
3. 1. The ability to perceive and express in an ingeniously humorous manner the relationship between seemingly incongruous or disparate things.
Fair use is when you have the permission of the author (or copyright holder, if they are not one and the same).
You are wrong.
Fair use is the doctrine allowing the use of copyrighted works, particularly excerpts, for "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research".
The merchant can refuse (not "deny") to accept cash, if they want. They can insist on being paid via debit, credit card, or gold bullion, if they wish. They don't have to accept cash.
The opposite of accept is deny, and the fact that deny and refuse mean the same thing in this (and most other) instances makes me wonder why you're telling me I'm wrong for using one synonym over the other.
It's not that they are "allowed" to refuse payment of more than $1 in pennies, because they are "allowed" to refuse payment of ANY amount, in ANY denomination, if they want.
This is incorrect. Legal tender by definition cannot be refused. The law linked to by you states what legal tender is, and conforming to these sets of rules (of which one is no more than 25 cents in denominations of one cent) a merchant cannot refuse payment.
The rule you're thinking of is the 'Limitations' section of the Currency Act, bill C-52, Section 8(2), subsections (a) through (e). This section states that it is illegal for merchants to accept payment for transactions exceeding 25 cents (not $1, as you incorrectly stated) if the denomination is pennies. It's all spelled out right here.
Again, incorrect. It is not illegal for the merchant to accept payment in these non-legal tender situations, but it is legal for the merchant to deny the tender in these non-legal tender situations because it is not a legal tender of payment.
Don't claim you've "read the law," then offer such grossly inaccurate information.
My statement was at most half false. A merchant still can refuse payment (deny tender) in pennies of a debt of $1 or more (because $1 is more than 25 cents). However you should be ashamed of yourself. Actually reading the law and having a completely wrong interpretation of it and trying to insult someone with that wrong interpretation?
The intro movie voices sound like they were done by the same nerd monkeys who wrote the code. Your humvee feels like it goes a whole 20kph. Enemy jeeps *literally* appear out of thin air. You can take out a tank, a freaking *tank* with your M16.
Not to mention, that the anti-aircraft missile battery control computers you're supposed to take out in the demo mission, the ones that are in bunkers supposedly making you get out of your humvee and go in and take em out, can infact be shot at through the bunker walls. After you've done that you're treated to unintelligible slow-mo speech probably confirming the objective completion. Nice code, jackasses.
Do not waste your time unless you want to laugh at the hilarity that is this game.
adj : (electronics) of a circuit or device having an output that is proportional to the input; "analogue device"; "linear amplifier" [syn: analog, linear] [ant: digital] n : something having the property of being analogous to something else [syn: analog, parallel]
That's my point, I don't think it changed the way people think about intellectual property, I think they always thought that way because it was already being done. It just centralized it and allowed the music industry (in this case) to specify and villify a single enemy.
I know I had always thought that way, even back into the BBS days and the local warez BBS's.
It was there before napster, especially on IRC, napster just brought it to the masses with a pretty interface. If napster didn't do it another program would have. The idea and technology were already there, napster didn't really do anything innovative that wasn't already happening.

There's two versions of the SMC 7004AWBR, part numbers 750.5312 and 750.5435. Don't ask me how they differ, just looks like LEDs at the front.
I have the 750.5312. Have you tried flashing the Siemens firmware onto the SMC?

OMG that was witty, hahaha. Welcome to my friends list.
Do what I do, sell your older one on ebay, handhelds don't depreciate as much as full blown computers.
It's the captioning stupid.
Ask Slashdot seems to be synonymous to "I'm a Retard"?
The last million Ask Slashdot's have been completely rediculous. If this is the best from the barrel maybe Cliff should think of canning the section?

I've read the law on this, a merchant can deny payment if the total is over $1 and the customer has all pennies.
This has got to be the *worst game ever*.

Yeah, from the same page:
analogue
adj : (electronics) of a circuit or device having an output that is proportional to the input; "analogue device"; "linear amplifier" [syn: analog, linear] [ant: digital] n : something having the property of being analogous to something else [syn: analog, parallel]
... but I would call bluetooth and wifi I/O.
A computer without I/O == useless.
